Twinstar Nano Plus Sterilizer IC Unit with Reactor M9 for Algae Control and Plant Growth

The Twinstar Nano Plus Sterilizer is an advanced, all-in-one solution engineered to control green algae while actively promoting healthier, faster plant growth in freshwater planted aquariums. Using a combination of microbubble sterilization and precision reactor design, the Nano Plus inhibits algae proliferation at its earliest stage by eliminating algae spores and weakening cell walls - an approach that is non-toxic to aerobic bacteria and safe for fish, invertebrates, and aquarium plants. By preventing algae settlement on leaves and surfaces, the sterilizer increases usable light penetration and activates trace elements in the water, enabling plants to photosynthesise more efficiently and compete naturally with algae for excess nutrients.

Real-world comparative trials demonstrate impressive plant response: under identical conditions Glossostigma growth increased by up to 50% and Rotala Indica by up to 40% after introducing the Twinstar Nano Plus system. The sterilizing microbubbles destroy the fragile cell walls of green algae, halting their growth while leaving beneficial bacteria intact - so tank chemistry and biological filtration remain stable. The unit’s gentle action promotes clearer water, healthier plants, and a visibly cleaner aquascape over time.

Designed for practical home use, the Nano Plus package includes a compact NANO PLUS IC control unit, Reactor M9, suction cups for secure in-tank placement, a power adaptor, and a user manual for quick setup. Installation is straightforward: mount the IC unit with the supplied cradle or optional Aqua Cradle accessory, position the Reactor M9 in a low-flow zone to maximise microbubble residence time, connect the power adaptor, and select the recommended mode based on tank dimensions and layout.

Twinstar Nano Plus is effective across most common algae types with high inhibition rates: Hair/thread algae (95%), Brown algae (90%), Blue-green algae (80%), Fuzz algae (80%), Green Dust (80%), and Green Spot (85%). Note: it is not effective against Black Brush/Beard algae or established green water caused by Euglena. Because the system works by targeting spores and early growth stages, results are fastest when used as a preventative or early-intervention tool; long-established mats of black beard algae will typically require manual removal and complementary measures.

The unit treats tanks approximately 50–250 L (13–66 gallons) and offers multiple mode settings to accommodate different aquarium layouts and water volumes. Mode selection and placement recommendations in the manual help you optimise coverage for planted tanks of varying depth and footprint. With regular use, you’ll notice reduced algae on leaves and hardscape, improved plant vigour, and a cleaner visual presentation - all achieved without harsh chemicals or disruption to the aquarium’s beneficial microfauna. For hobbyists who want professional-level algae control that supports plant growth rather than harming the aquarium ecosystem, the Twinstar Nano Plus is a proven, user-friendly choice.
